We are pleased to inform you that applications for the upcoming
EMBO Practical Course “Population Genomics: background and tools”
are now open!

The course will take place on 13-19 March 2023 in the outstanding island of Procida (Naples, Italy).

One grant of 500 EUR covering the registration fee of one student/post-doc who is an AGI member or works in a lab in which the PI is an AGI member will be awarded by AGI to a successful candidate.

IMPORTANT DATES for this Course:

• Registration and abstract submission deadline: 3 January 2023
• Notification of acceptance: 12 January 2023
• Payment deadline: 25 January 2023

Full details, including the course programme, invited speakers and the application form, are available at: https://meetings.embo.org/event/23-pop-genomics

In this EMBO Practical Course, participants will learn fundamental concepts and advanced approaches to reconstruct the demographic history of populations and infer natural selection, using both classic and machine learning-based techniques. Participants will also learn the essential and advanced programming skills required to run the analyses related to the concept presented, with a special focus on machine learning. Keynote lectures focused on major achievements and future perspectives of population genomics will complement the training. Lectures and practicals are delivered by experienced outstanding and inspiring speakers. We expect participants to become fully confident in running analyses on their own after attending the course.

This course aims at evolutionary biologists who already have basic bioinformatics skills. Good knowledge of R is a pre-requisite and knowledge of Python is a plus. Ph.D. students and Postdoc researchers will benefit the most out of this course, but applications from all candidates will be evaluated in their context.

ELIXIR-IT is pleased to announce the upcoming workshop on Metabolomics and Integrative omics: from data production to analysis.

IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for applications: 27 Mar 2022
Deadline for the presentation of use cases (see below): 27-03-2022
Course date: 28-29 April, 2022

VENUE

CNR Research Area of Bari
Via Amendola 122/O
70126 Bari, Italy

FEE

Academic: 90 EUR
PhD students: 70 EUR
Undergraduate students: 60 EUR
Industry:120 EUR
This workshop is limited to 50 in-person participants on a first-come-first-serve basis.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The workshop is designed to enable the attendees to apply metabolomics in a research-based context. We will focus both on experimental design and data analysis of different data sources integrated at the level of the metabolome. Attendees will engage into the design of a mass spectrometry-based metabolomics experiment with cutting-edge equipment and will gain an overview on the use of specific software platforms for metabolomics data mining. Special attention will be paid to the integration of metabolomics data with metagenomics, gene expression and proteomic data.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Research scientists who are using or planning to use metabolomics analysis in their research activities are welcome to attend the workshop.
Participants are invited to present a use case by submitting an abstract (max 150 words) containing a short description of their research topic and the metabolomics issue/approach they wish to discuss with the speakers. The Organizing Committee will select ten abstracts for a flash presentation and discussion during the roundtable on Friday, on 29th April 2022 afternoon.
